This is our little tidbit to memorize or create a spreadsheet for:

F*P + (1 - F)*[E*(P + S) - (1 - E)*S]

This is the equation that tells us the EV of Hero raising all-in.

F is the number of combos that Villain folds divided by the total number of combos Villain currently holds.
E is the equity (found using equilab or something similar) of Hero's hand vs. Villain's calling range.
P is the amount of the pot (including any bet Hero may be facing)
S is the amount that is currently in Villain's stack (or Hero's stack, if Villain has more chips).

So, Cobra... what parts make sense and what parts don't?
I'm really not sure, could you or Boris maybe post an example hand (using numbers instead of letters) to see if that helps a bit?

I don't see how you're supposed to be able to do all that in your head at the table either. Seems really unnecessary.
